My new cunning plan

[also-rr]

1. Don't take any of the many simple steps I could take to lock down my network despite the fact that many devices are designed to automatically lock onto any open wireless network.
2. Rename wireless network free help yourself.
3. Insist that charges are pressed against my neighbours.
4. Buy their houses at low low prices and use the space for an indoor pool and a bowling alley.
